Wheeling is home to a few new candy stores.



Luckies Candies 2 is one of them. They feature trendy candies and international treats.



I grabbed a few Laffy Taffies. Have you been?

Rock Hill Creamery is a Shepherdstown ice cream shop that keeps it simple: "We make our ice cream right here in the shop using only milk, sugar, and heavy cream as our base."



In 2021, the local paper wrote: "Founded by Gary Miller in Martinsburg in 1996, Rock Hill Creamery was officially closed six years ago. One of Miller’s longtime employees, however, lived in Shepherdstown and realized she wanted to bring the creamery back to life in her town."



I kept it pretty simple with salted caramel, but it was the most silky, luxurious salted caramel I've had in recent memory. maybe because of the simplicity, the flavors really popped. I know next time I want to try a waffle cone, if available.

Twisted Grille is a local business that has been serving burgers, nachos and fries via brick-and-mortar and food truck. When I saw their food truck, I already knew I wanted to order the Route 60 Nachos. It is tortilla chips topped with pulled pork, white queso cheese, and barbecue sauce. I do love a good nacho, and these were surprisingly simple. I think a pickled jalapeno would add a bit ot fresh, sweet and spice to each bite.

I recently heard about Penny's Sweet Confections, so I placed an order to try a bit of everything. Available cookies:

Peanut butter
Chocolate Chip peanut butter
Chocolate chip
Double Chocolate Chip
Creamsicle
Strawberry
S’mores
Snickerdoodle
These were all tasty, but my favorites were the strswberry and s'mores. Have you tried them yet?

Alfredo's has had several Italian/Greek restaurants around the state: Summersville, Buckhannon, Lewisburg, and Marlinton - which we are visiting today.



For as small as downtown Marlinton is, this restaurant is smack dab in the middle. It sits a level above ground, so we walked up the stairs to visit the dining room. It is pretty basic in terms of decor and ambience.



The menu features, pizza, wings, subs, burgers, pasta, gyros and more. Truly fits the definition of "a little bit of everything."



The salad was basic with iceberg lettuce, the garlic knots with cheese were a bit different but dry, and the spaghetti with meat sauce was the definition of comfort food. It's not my typical go-to, but sometimes the simple dish just hits the spot.
